Agar Fuck Up
    #26778108 - 06/23/20 11:24 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Alright, so I didn't know that I needed to wrap my petri dishes in parafilm and then put them in a ziplock so they don't dry out. I inocculated yesterday morning and once I get home after work tonight I'll place them inside ziplocks but I won't have parafilm until next week when it gets delivered. How fucked am I?

+! for saran wrap. I actually prefer it over parafilm.

I've left plates unwrapped in a SAB for weeks without problems. If you moved them to the ziplock in the SAB you'll probably be fine.

Like the others said, you can use saran wrap. Look up Bod's agar tek. Chop ~1" sections off a roll with a sharp sturdy knife. Works great.

I think it will be fine in the ziploc for a week, maybe longer. I just would take care not to disturb it too much before it’s properly wrapped.

Yeah, get a sharp knife and cut a saran wrap roll as suggested above.  Works like an absolute charm.

Thanks everyone! I should've read more on how to proceed inocculating agar. I was in a rush so I through them in regular air. At this point I just hope I have a few not infected. I'll post progress pics later on.
